A proposed development and rezoning application for the Thetis Lake Campground in View Royal is moving forward after some .
At TuesdayB次元官网网址檚 meeting, the proposal was met with some hesitation, with councillors asking for clarification from staff and Limona Construction representatives.
Coun. Ron Mattson noted he supported the increased density for the project B次元官网网址� one of the recommendations made by council B次元官网网址� but was still not pleased with the inclusion of townhomes and duplexes.
He added the layout for those units is hideous. B次元官网网址淲e donB次元官网网址檛 need townhouses or duplexes, thatB次元官网网址檚 just going to ruin what could have been a really quality development B次元官网网址� ItB次元官网网址檚 going to be a black mark on this council.B次元官网网址�
Limona, who is working on a land deal with the owner of the campground, presented a modified development concept for 1938 West Park Ln. and 200 Cheam Rd. to the townB次元官网网址檚 committee of the whole in June earlier in the spring.
The current proposal calls for two 70-unit, five storey apartment buildings and two 60-unit, five storey apartment buildings, all with underground parking. It also includes 46 townhouse/duplex units.
Part of that proposal includes provisions for the transfer of a 5.12 hectare parcel at 200 Cheam Road (now Lund Road) to the Town for green space as well as providing pedestrian infrastructure improvements on West Park Lane and Six Mile Road (north of the Trans-Canada Highway).
A presentation earlier in the evening from one of the Thetis Lake Campground residents also caused some concern for Mattson.
B次元官网网址淎s bad as I think the design is, it pales in significance to what he have allowed to happen to the residents B次元官网网址� We should have done something for the residents,B次元官网网址� Mattson said. B次元官网网址淲e should reject this proposal and make them come back with something thatB次元官网网址檚 better for the residents.B次元官网网址�
Of the 17 long term mobile home residents, Karen Hayes is the only one who hasnB次元官网网址檛 signed . She spoke to some of her struggles during the meeting.
B次元官网网址淭he stress has sent me to my doctorB次元官网网址檚 office several times,B次元官网网址� she said. One time, she noted, she collapsed and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with high blood pressure and pain in her jaw.
B次元官网网址淚 deserve assessed value, my mortgage paid and free pad rent until I move out,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 the last homeowner standing.B次元官网网址�
During public participation, another Thetis Lake Campground resident noted many of those homes were there long before the Town of View Royal was incorporated.
A public hearing for the Official Community Plan amendment and rezoning application needed for this project has been set for July 18.
